Excommunication

[BYUHoopster]

My question is how long does the process take? Assuming he met with the Stake President today will he be excommunicated by the end of the week or will it take longer. Further, because of his status in the church will they be announcing this over the pulpit?

I would think that regardless of how long it took, that it would be something that the Stake would try to push through quietly.

I wonder why a person in his shoes would accept such a calling. Or did the stake president's inspired, prayerful decision to call him come before the affairs commenced?

I've never seen something like this announced over the pulpit, but you never know.

It will probably take a little longer than a week, but not too long.

There was a prominent SP in Salt Lake, part of his prominence was because he was the SP for many of the GA's. One of my friends was in his Stake and he said he was the toughest SP he had ever had when it came to chastity. He constantly harped on it and was very tough on the subject in Temple Recommend interviews.

He had an affair and was allowed to apologize at a Stake Conference. My friend said he felt like he was watching a Jimmy Swaggert rerun. I like it better when these guys repent and go through the process quietly and on their own.

Reminds me of a friend, who stated, if he's going out, he's going out in style, doing things he wants to do.

He later became a bishop, not a stake president though. Rogue Stake Presidents seem relatively rare given the years of being in the leadership which is required to rise to that level.

Yeah, I remember that now.

It depends, but typically from a couple of weeks to around a month or so. Letters of notification, everyone arranging schedules, a little paperwork.
